[Tfug] Cox and Port 25

[Eric M. Gearhart]

Wouldn't using Cox's SMTP server break SPF records, if the domain you're emailing from has them in place? That was one of the problems we had with customers of ours using Cox's server

To get around the port 25 blocking issue some providers have gone to an alternate port like what you found. 

The official Cox solution is to use their SMTP server. That is what I have done for years. 

SMTP Server: smtp.west.cox.net 

I seem to recall you need to have an email account to use for authentication.
